Advantage
with Antifreeze Coolant
Although water is a very good medium for cooling, it has many
serious shortcomings which does not make it suitable for as a coolant for
engines.
Antifreeze Coolant is therefore used in combination with water as
engine cooling medium which not only overcome all the demerits of using only
water but also makes the system efficient and long lasting.
Functions
of Antifreeze Coolants
The basic functions of
Antifreeze Coolants are as follows:
- Protection from Boiling and Freezing of
cooling medium.
- Effective Transfer of heat
- Protection from Rust and Corrosion
- Lubrication of Water pump
- Compatibility with hard water
- Non foaming and Less evaporating
- Compatibility with Plastics, Rubber, Paint and
other cooling system materials
- Chemical Stability at low and high
temperature.
- Low ecological and toxicological hazard for
the environment
Whereas,
the functions like Boiling point, Freezing point, Foaming, Evaporation and
Water miscibility are the inherent properties of conventional antifreeze
coolants, the main stress of performance efficiency came on:
- •Effective High
temperature Stability
- •Protection from Rust
& Corrosion
- •Effective transfer of
Heat
- •Chemical stability /
longevity aspects of the system.
